  • 1 cup Water

  • 1/4 cup Regular Milk Any milk you have on hand
For the Topping
  • 2 cups Whipped Cream Homemade or store-bought
  • 1/2 cup Crushed Peanut Butter Cups Alternatives include chocolate chips or crushed Oreos

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish

Method
 

Bake the Chocolate Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, oil, and water. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  2. Let the cake cool for 10-15 minutes.
Prepare Peanut Butter Mixture
  1. While your cake is cooling, mix the peanut butter with the sweetened condensed milk and regular milk until smooth. If too thick, add a splash of milk.
Assemble the Cake
  1. Poke holes all over the surface of the cake and pour the peanut butter mixture over the warm cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
Add Whipped Cream Topping
  1. Spread the whipped cream evenly over the top of the cake and sprinkle crushed peanut butter cups or other toppings over the whipped cream.
Chill and Serve
  1. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before slicing. Serve chilled.
